People expect FB games to be graphical, meaning Flash (or I suppose HTML5 but I haven't seen one of those implemented yet).
It's a good idea honestly but there are hold backs. First Kao is a PHP developer and I haven't seen anything that suggest he knows how to develop Flash, second is the games you just mentioned are by major FB game developers, shit developers but major none-the-less, meaning they have HUGE advertising budgets behind them.
There are literally thousands and thousands of games on FB, the vast majority get played by a few hundred people at most. The entire structure of the games would have to change because the credits thing wouldn't fly there the same as it does here.
Not to mention licensing for the car names/visuals. Talk to Cie of Car Town, they actually pay the manufacturers to allow them to use car likenesses and names in game.
It's not a bad idea, just a lot more work than most people seem to realize.
